TENNNES is a local multiplayer game by Jan Willem Nijman, with audio by Eirik Suhrke.
Originally comissioned by NO QUARTER, TENNNES was later included as a gift for backers of the SPORTSFRIENDS Kickstarter.
Once purchased, you're allowed to distribute the game to your friends!
It's almost as visually minimalistic as Pong, and it has very simple pick-up-and-play controls like Virtua Tennis, but it's tactically much deeper than either of those games. --Bennett Foddy

What TENNNES has managed, in its simple glory, is a distillation of both the instinctive brilliance of tennis and the longer metagame that occurs between opponents. -- Nick Dymond

Instead of being just a refinement of its source material,Tennnes challenges our expectations of digital games by presenting a set of mechanics with few directions other than its puckish title. -- Charles Pratt

TENNNES features a brilliant jingle and sound effects by Eirik Suhrke, whose work can be found here: http://www.strotch.net/
The TENNNES music can be found on his Game music 2 compilation: http://phlogiston.bandcamp.com/track/tennnes
You're really going to need 2 gamepads to play TENNNES. The game can be played by/against AI, but that's absolutely not the intended experience.
Have fun!
